Fine Art - Bandung, West Java, Indonesia
elasar Sunaryo Art Space (SSAS) began as Selasar Seni Sunaryo, the realization of Sunaryo's longstanding dream to contribute to, and support, the development of Fine Arts in Indonesia. Today, as an institution, SSAS has become a key player in the arts and cultural landscape of Indonesia.Building of the not-for-profit Art Space commenced in 1994 and covers an area of approximately 5,000 square metres.The basic form of the buildings was inspired by the shape of "kuda lumping", a traditional Indonesian cultural artifact. The word "Selasar" reflects the design concept: for an open space that connects one space with another, and acts as a bridge between buildings. The ultimate concept of "Selasar", also reflects the aim of the space to connect artworks with audiences and to bring different cultures together.Selasar is also an ‘open' space in the sense that admission is free and the gallery welcomes the broadest possible cross-section of the community. SSAS prides itself on offering opportunities for all to enjoy the arts, and focuses on arts education. SSAS is also responsive to projects and initiatives proposed by others when suitable.Selasar Seni Sunaryo officially opened in September, 1998 with a solo exhibition of Sunaryo's works entitled Titik Nadir [the lowest point]. The exhibition reflected the artists concern with the Indonesian socio-political situation at the time. It was a time of chaos and hopelessness for many Indonesians: the Soeharto regime collapsed along with the economy and many people were suffering from starvation.From its inauguration in 1998 to 2002 Selasar Sunaryo Art Space completed a number of renovations as well as developing and adding some additional facilities to support Fine Art Exhibitions. A number of large scale exhibitions and arts performances have been executed.
